Chapter 794: Tokugawa Kayo's Ambition (Three Watches!) )
The arrival of Iga Shangnin shocked Zhao Hongyu's heart.
After waiting for so long, after so many days of waiting, now there is finally news.
Although Zhao Hongyu's face did not fluctuate, he was still a little nervous in his heart.
It can be seen that he is not unworried about this operation.
After all, the fleet doesn't have its own leadership, and it's still bottomless to let Emma and Sara go.
It's just that under the circumstances at that time, he really couldn't tell the difference.
That's why Emma and Sara were sent to Edo with the fleet.
Of course, Emma and Sara are nominally commanders, but in the event of a battle or something, they still have to delegate authority to the captains of Chinese descent below.
Zhao Hongyu had explained this to two people in advance.
The two of them had no objection to this.
"Tell me, what's going on in Edo?"
Although he was a little apprehensive in his heart, Zhao Hongyu tried his best to make himself look calm.
Because he knows that anyone can have a big one, but he can't.
The reason is simple, because everyone in Osaka Castle is now watching his reaction.
If even he is not indifferent, it will cause other people to be uneasy.
Over the past few days, it is precisely because of Zhao Hongyu's calmness that everyone has ensured stability.
Whether it was Tokugawa Kayo or Wang Fuzi, they did not have much emotional fluctuations.
Especially those former Osaka prisoners who had taken refuge in themselves and became the Japanese Army.
Hattori Chizuru took a few steps and came to Zhao Hongyu's side.
"My lord, after the fleet defeated the shogunate's navy, it went to Edo Castle in less than half a day, and captured Tenwa Castle, where the shogun lived, and successfully captured the shogun, as well as the emperor."
When it comes to this matter. Chizuru Hattori's face was full of joy.
Although Zhao Hongyu wants to remain calm, Hattori Chizuru doesn't need it.
This news is a great thing for them now.
Isn't the reason why they are staying here in Osaka Castle now is to attract the attention of the crusading army and the surrounding daimyos, so that the fleet's sneak attack on Edo can succeed?
Judging from the current situation, the capture of the shogun and the emperor would basically be half the success of this plan.
The next thing to see is whether the Japanese people care about the lives of those two people.
As long as they care about the lives of the shogun and the emperor, then cede this matter of Kyushu. Even if it's a success.
Originally, in Zhao Hongyu's plan, it was only aimed at the shogun Ishida Hiroshi.
However, there is now an even more important figure, the emperor.
Then, this thing becomes more beneficial to your side, isn't it?
Haha
When Zhao Hongyu heard this, he couldn't help but look up and laugh.
At this time, all Zhao Hongyu's worries dissipated, and at the same time, a trace of gloom in his heart disappeared immediately.
Yes. In fact, he has been worried about the plans on the Edo side these days.
I'm afraid that there will be some mistakes in this plan.
Because, it concerns a lot of people.
Well, now Edo has been captured, and the shogun has become a prisoner.
Meantime. Even the emperor was caught.
How could Zhao Hongyu not be happy.
Originally, in Zhao Hongyu's plan, he didn't think of what to do with the emperor at all.
However, things have changed in such a way. It was something he could never have imagined.
Regarding the emperor's status in the minds of the Japanese people, Zhao Hongyu is still very clear.
Now that the emperor has become a prisoner, then it is equivalent to saying that he has an extra trump card in the palm of his hand. It's time to negotiate terms with the Japanese people.
And the power of this card is much greater than that of the shogun Ishida.
Perhaps, my good luck is starting to explode again.
As for whether the Japanese are unlucky or not, it is not something he can consider.
"Go on, have the Japanese and our people started negotiations?" , Zhao Hongyu tried his best to keep himself calm, and then asked Hattori Chizuru.
Hattori Chizuru nodded: "According to the ninja's inquiry, the Wajin did negotiate with us, and we have forced the Wajin to agree to this request to cede Kyushu. ”
That's great!
Zhao Hongyu slapped his palm, and his excitement was clear at a glance.
He often exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath in his chest, and the whole person was much more relaxed.
According to the ninja's news, it means that Emma and the others have forced the Japanese to agree to cede Kyushu, so their entire plan is completely achieved.
With this promise of the Japanese people, then he will have a righteous name for occupying Kyushu, and some civilians in Kyushu will not be able to resist at that time.
Now what he has to face is those vested interests on the Kyushu continent, that is, the local daimyo lords.
Hey!
Zhao Hongyu smiled secretly in his heart, he didn't pay any attention to these guys.
In his opinion, these so-called daimyo lords were all ant-like beings in the face of his military strength.
However, if you can make the resistance smaller again and allow yourself to occupy Kyushu smoothly, you will have to think of a way.
Although he now has the name of the shogunate and the emperor, as well as the name of the Japanese court ceding Kyushu, it is also necessary to prevent the resistance of the Japanese people in Kyushu.
After all, for them, they have always been an aggressor and an outsider.
This makes the very xenophobic Japanese people unable to accept themselves in a short period of time.
So, what should be done?
He looked at Tokugawa Kayo, who was also excited, and then at Yuji Kawabe and Shuzo Iguchi, who were chatting with the soldiers of the Japanese Concord Army not far away.
It seems that the time has come for these Japanese people to use their native strength.
For those people in Kyushu, it should be easier for them to accept the same Japanese people.
Then, choose one person from among them to support as an agent.
A lot of ideas popped up in Zhao Hongyu's mind in a short period of time.
As for the crusading army outside Osaka City that was still besieging him, Zhao Hongyu didn't bother to think about the situation on their side.
With the shogun and the emperor in hand, the crusading army wouldn't dare to act rashly, would they?
It's not good, the crusading army just knew the news. That's why they stopped attacking.
In fact, Zhao Hongyu wronged Ishida and them at this point.
Because Ishida Aido and the Kaze Attendant Prison also got the news about Edo yesterday.
And the main reason why they stopped attacking Osaka Castle was that they didn't want to bear the loss of troops.
But in any case, there will be no more fighting here in Osaka Castle, that's for sure.
The crusaders had to think about a few things so that nothing could happen.
If it was really because of them that the shogun and the emperor had an accident, these crusaders would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
No!
They can't even hold their pockets.
"Your Highness, according to the news of the Iga ninjas. It seems that there is some turmoil at the top of the shogunate, and we need to be prepared for this, and maybe we can take advantage of it to reap greater benefits. ”
Chizuru Hattori's news about Edo hasn't been finished yet.
So, she continued to say to Zhao Hongyu.
"Oh, what? Is there anything else going on over there in Edo? ”
Zhao Hongyu is in a very good mood now.
The originally hazy sky didn't seem to him to be so annoying.
Hattori Chizuru nodded: "According to the report of the ninjas, it seems that because of the capture of the shogun and the emperor, some of the feudal lords and daimyo who were originally dissatisfied with the Ishida shogunate should really be ready to move. Therefore. Hiroshi Ishida's position is likely to be unstable. ”
Zhao Hongyu frowned when he heard this, and then laughed.
"Hehe, you mean, someone will start an operation to overthrow Hiroshi Ishida?"
Chizuru Hattori said, "Yes." This is very likely to happen. ”
Zhao Hongyu waved his hand: "This matter is quite beneficial to us, but we will not participate in it." After all, if Kyushu wants to be truly in control, we also need some time. I don't think the daimyo and feudal lords in the land of Kyushu would have left so honestly, could they? ”
Zhao Hongyu is not stupid. Of course, he knew what they would have to face in the future.
Therefore, just a matter from the Kyushu side will make him focus his energy on it.
So. He can't control the affairs of the shogunate.
Besides, who is the general has little to do with him.
In short, it doesn't matter if the shogunate is in chaos, at least in a short period of time, the shogunate will not have the heart and energy to deal with them.
Taking advantage of this chaotic time, it just so happened that he could integrate Kyushu and control and stabilize Kyushu completely.
After all, he also has to guard against the Japanese people, and when he integrates Kyushu on his side of the province, the Japanese people will give themselves a little behind their backs, right?
As soon as Hattori Chizuru heard Zhao Hongyu say this, he understood the reason.
"In addition, it seems that Lailaizi has also ambitiously contacted many feudal lords and daimyo in the northern country, forming a large force, but their force has some meaning of wanting to divide the territory."
Chizuru Hattori told the news about Raiko.
Zhao Hongyu paused for a moment, he was not very familiar with Lailaizi, so he didn't understand what this meant.
Although Zhao Hongyu doesn't understand and doesn't know, this doesn't mean that others don't understand.
It just so happened that there was a person beside him who knew this very well.
This person is Tokugawa Kayo.
Kayo Tokugawa began to churn in her heart after she told Chizuru Hattori the news about the Edo side.
It can be said that her heart is even more unpeaceful than Zhao Hongyu's.
Because she knew very well that after capturing the shogun and the emperor, the young highness's plan was basically a success.
If there were only shoguns, it might not be realistic to cede Kyushu.
But with the addition of an unexpected appearance of the emperor, this becomes possible.
After all, although the emperor is a puppet, he still has a lot of influence and appeal to the people at the bottom of the Japanese kingdom.
Therefore, in order to keep the emperor, the negotiators of the shogunate had to agree to the request from this side.
And with the name of righteousness, it won't be long before the conquest of Kyushu begins.
This was the best chance for the Tokugawa family to revive.
Thinking of his deceased brother and father's advice, as well as Hattori's hope of hiding them, Tokugawa Kayo felt that no matter what, he had to seize this opportunity and not let it slip away from his eyes.
But the question is, what should I do to convince this young highness to support him and support him to revive the Tokugawa family.
You must know that you want money without money, and you want people without people.
Except for the lungs hiding in them, there is nothing around him that can be handled.
even said that she couldn't even compare with Yuji Riverside and Zazo Wellguchi.
After all, even these two guys have hundreds of troops.
Himself, in fact, is a light rod.
Just when Hattori Chizuru and Zhao Hongyu were talking about the news of the Edo incident, Tokugawa Kayo was thinking about it again in his heart.
"Miss Tokugawa, in order to restore the glory of the Tokugawa family, sometimes you need to make certain sacrifices yourself. And this young highness from the Song Empire in the Americas is also very good, if you have a child with him, then you can become the crown prince of the Song Empire, can he not support us at that time......"
At this moment, Tokugawa Kayo's mind suddenly flashed after she took her companions to take refuge with Zhao Hongyu, Hattori Kizo found what she said to herself.
Thinking of these words, Tokugawa Kayo involuntarily raised his head and glanced at Zhao Hongyu.
Immediately, her face was covered with an abnormal crimson.
To be honest, Tokugawa Kayo actually has a very good feeling for Zhao Hongyu.
He is young, handsome (ignoring the scar on his face), and has a good temper, so he can be said to be a good candidate for a partner.
Most importantly, he is the heir of a country, the future emperor.
That's enough to get into Tokugawa Yoshiyo's eyes.
And judging from the experience of this period of time, the army of the Song Empire was extremely combative.
Although I don't know how big the Song Empire is and how many troops like this there are, it can be seen just by the combat effectiveness of these horses how powerful the Song Empire is.
Therefore, as long as he can become his woman, then he can be helped by the powerful military power of the empire.
Reviving the Tokugawa family would be a breeze.
Especially if the two have children, integrate the two countries of the Japanese Kingdom and the Americas, and the children of the two will become great kings.
After all, the little girl is still young, but she is only sixteen years old, so it is inevitable that she will be shy when she thinks about these things.
At this time, it happened that Hattori Chizuru talked about the problem of Lailaizi, and Tokugawa Kayo saw that Zhao Hongyu looked at a loss when he talked about Lailaizi, and he wanted to interject.
Because only by interjecting in, can he grasp the initiative and make some small requests to Zhao Hongyu by the way.
"I know that she is probably doing this to protect herself......," Kayo Tokugawa, who was blushing in a little face, interjected. Her opening attracted Zhao Hongyu's eyes, and when Zhao Hongyu saw that the little face was flying and a little abnormal, Zhao Hongyu opened his mouth: "Jiadai, are you uncomfortable?" Otherwise, why is your face so red, could it be that you have a cold? (To be continued......)
